It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs


It's about to redesign our mascot (Basti). He was done two years ago by ourselves. But now he looks very plastic to us.
What we are missing:
- He is not cute enough that somebody would say: "ooooh" - should have more a BABY-Look
- He looks like a big blob of gray tones we are missing shades, curves, reflections etc

Eventhough what we like:
- He kinda looks like its model
- That he is gray
- The pose meaning that he sits - eventhough we need a second pose
- That he does not have the body of an animal four-legged he has a "Baby Body"
- The fact that we have an opened filein matter to do any required changes

The old AI file as well as photos from the original plush in many pose you can finde under www.i-mondi.com/download/Basti.zip

It's about redesigning our mascot, this means to stylize the stuffed animal in the zip-file. Initially, since our old AI file was only revised, we have taken it from the zip file. If you still have the old AI file, please do not take our old file as a template. Please direct the focus to the stuffed animal and interpret it by yourself. The result should be a complete character, not just a head or a upper body. Each possible pose is welcome.

Dear client,

I have made a few changes to the design. I hope you like them. I changed the following:

- I have added gradients.
- I have added shadows under his body and under his snout.
- I changed the snout a little. In the original the snout is a bit to big and the shape looks a bit strange. Therefore the snout draws all the attention so I have made it a little smaller and a bit more round. Also in the original version the mouth and his nose looks a bit like a smiley so I also changed that. The mouth now is much more friendly and appealing to children.
- Last but certainly not least I have adjusted the eyes. The eyes are very important for the "baby look" and making Basti look cuter. I've made them bigger and added the white circles to make them more lifelike and vivid, a little sparkle.

Feedback is always very welcome. I'd love to hear what you think.

Kind regards,
Michelle

Please do not take our old file as a template. Please put your focus on the stuffed animal and interpret it by yourself. Besides that the eyes are nice but too big but in general too related to the old one.
